Something New and Crafty

I was searching Ravelry for a triangular scarf/shawl pattern and came across this awesome ombre dyed version. I followed the link to the designer's blog where she has a tutorial for this dying technique. She used Kool Aid too, so this is right up my alley! I wondered why I had never thought of this, it is genius.

I did a navy ball and a golden orange one. I am working on knitting up a scarf with the blue right now and can't wait to start seeing the color change. What fun!

I am off work today and trying to catch up on my to do list. Frank is still sick and we are thinking it may be the flu. I sure hope I don't catch it, he is so miserable and I feel bad for him. I have been cleaning, crafting, cathcing up on jewelry and am about to run errands. So much to do, so little time. I'm also hoping to get in another sunset jog.

About Me

I grew up in a family of crafts people, with a fiber artist mother and a woodworking father. My maternal grandparents were also both crafty, always making things and tending garden. This family, with a make it yourself attitude, and home filled with handmade objects and furnishings has had a lifelong impact on me. While I no longer have time for much jewelry making I continue to find creative outlets via sewing, knitting, baking, gardening and so on. I love to share my creative endeavors with you.
